| Some
examples of projects that could possibly
qualify for an EFFE grant include:
• Purchase of equipment
for colleges, universities, schools, or
other BCA recognized programs of formal
biological photographic education.
• Purchase or production
of educational materials of a lasting nature
(books, films, videotapes, DVDs, etc.) to
be donated for reference use in programs
of formal education.
• Funding of projects
whose chief purpose is to develop educational
materials.
• Funding of research
on materials or methods in photography or
media in the life sciences.
• Funding
of projects utilizing microscopy.
Here are a few
examples of educational projects that were
supported by grants from EFFE:
A photographer developed
digital photography techniques to use
in taking medical photos in Honduras.
A biomedical communications
student from the Rochester Institute of
Technology, with funding from EFFE for transportation,
spent a summer internship in India, studying
and teaching ophthalmic photography techniques.
A medical photographer
whose expenses were partly paid by EFFE
accompanied Project Smile's volunteer doctors
to Ecuador to document
patients undergoing corrective surgery of
cleft palates.
Biomedical Photojournalism:
A Pediatric Ophthalmologist Teaching Aboard
the Flying Eye Hospital ‘Orbis’.
Four college students prepared a research
project utilizing high speed motion
pictures to document the behavior of liquids
in space. NASA accepted them on a zero-gravity
flight and EFFE helped to pay the students'
expenses.
